The Burning Question 24/04/2008

The cover is simultaneously the most horrifying and glorious thing I have ever seen. The new single Pork And Beans is great though so it bodes well for the album, and all that matters in the end is the music, right?!

if clint eastwood can do it, cuomo definitely can't.

It's unlikely that the cowboy look will catch on. However, it does look like it's entirely possible to catch something from that mustache.

just one thing comes to mind......
YMCA

HAY, THAT GUY STOLE MY TATTOO!

I hope it does catch on, I want a mustache but my girlfriend won't let me...if everyone's doing it, that'll give me a great excuse

I hope it won't... Seriously. Can you imagine the myspace pictures?

It most likely will. You just don't know...
Personally I wouldn't but I know people who would.

Haha it'll be just like the westerns. Instead of chavs and emos, it'll be cowboys and indians again!

Eagles of Geek Metal anyone?

caterpillars gone wild? WHATS THAT ON HIS TOP LIP. its actually lookng at me. i say get him a horse and tell him where to bugger off to, we dont want no mustache men here, thankyou.

where have these guys gone hav they been 2 brookback mountain they look queer man i dnt think it will catch on it looks realy stupid

Wezzer are great, but cowboys!?
what the heck where they thinking?
don't think it will catch on.

Oh my god lol......... Its a Good Cover but lol.........he jus kinda looks like 1 of the cast members for 'My Name Is Earl' and to add his look would prob catch on if it didnt make him look like 1 of the village ppl.........sorry cuomo, jus being honest.

Peace

I see somebody is trying to be Brendon Flowers!!

Honest to god, If that makes it then it will be a sad day for everyone.

Has anyone actually looked at it? its gross, Shave it off!!! It wont catch on atall, Hopefully....

Christopher. x

No. No It Will Not, Hopefully. Plus, that tache makes him look like a deranged, cowboy-caveman. :|

Yeehaa!

its very Weezer....although i think they should of been indians and not cowboys

Well, he looks kind of stupid.. And I guess the album is not country? What do I know.
But hey, it's always good to get a new look!

i hope the cowboy look catches on, i've been rocking it since birth

Who knows, throw in a pair of aviators and a moustache and it'd look great. Just look at turbonegro! Nobody questions their dress code.

mmmmhot stuff

if he is trying to be the next milky bar kid, then most certainly.

ha he looks like hes a wannabe jesse james

give it up mate:)

Kinda looks like a bunch of embarrassing dads got together and decided to make an album. The cowboy hat made me cringe.

The fact that this is called artwork is laughable, who couldnt stand and get their picture taken, how about something original eh lads or men as the case may be. Make up for the bad music with something pretty to look at. Either that or send this in to the YMCA. I hope to God this doesnt catch on.

i have to be honest actually, i think it dont work at all, i mean im all up for brokeback mountain but maybe the look is going a bit to far. who knows someone might like it

Damn, he looks awesome, hopefully he'll make cowboy fashionable so I can go out in my Rhinestone shit without fear of being beaten!

haha he looks cool but dude no one can get away with it as much as Anthony Kiedis...yummy

Oh dear god no! He looks like 1 of the village people, hello does YMCA spring to mind ?? dude just NOOO !!

THAT COVER IS WANK!!!!!!

Oh so he wants to be Mr B Flowers from The Killers!
Its ok we all like a little dress up.....

Never.
It Didn't Work For The Village People And I Won't Work Now.

I think it looks like a poster for Work For The Dole! The cowboy hat is the least of their worries

Will do for cowboys what babe did for pigs

The 'tash worked for Freddie mercury, but it doesn't work fo him. Yes. Definatley reminds me of the village people . . . I'll say no more.
Top mag by the way! You all deserve a beer!

Think he looks like the bloke form village people...all i can say really is:

"Are you feeling lucky punk?"

I haven`t heard much of Weezer (only Buddy Holly) but the album art looks quite cool :D

I see they're going for the whole 'Texas Ranger' look haha... I think it'll catch on.

If this look catches on i swear down i'll turn lesbian! why would you want to look so rediculous? Does he see it as being 'individual'?
Seriously, guys, if you try out this look, prepare to born-again-virgins!

Oh my god! That is TERRIBLE! It's not the hat really, but what the hell is up with that moustache!?!? He looks like Captain bloody Hook!

My main concern is that once again they've gone for a self-titled album. This shouldn't be "The Red Album" though, it should clearly be referred to as "The Cowboy One".

oh my god.. i one word.. no! well the cover in its self is hardly going to start a riot of people going out to get it, hope the tunes are good!

I think it will, coz mostaches are cool. Also we can then have emo cowboys, the ultimate hybrid

No this wont cacth opn at all
the cover is boring and plain and he looks completely stupid like that

haha brokeback mountain style! me likey ;)

All I can say is wow. What happened Rivers? He looked way hotter when he was a geek. The cowboy thing is just creepy!

Is it just me or does he look like a cross between Brandon Flowers and that guy from My name is Earl?... one word.. creepy.

It looks like a cross between Hitler and Clint Eastwood. He clashes with the rest of the band members, he should go back to being a proud nerd.

Thats the most disgusting look i have ever seen. Does he thinks it looks good?!

i hope it definatly does catch on, i think it'ld be great to see everyone in cowboy outfits, i think i need to buy myself a cowboy hat right now.....

I really bloody hope not. I can't stand Weezer as it is. Nor can I stand cowboy wannabe's. Put them together and its worse than Charlie from Busted trying co come to rock with his whiney voice, shit guitar playing and crap band, Fightstar. Bullet rule!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Love iiiiiiit.

This is by far the best album cover weezer have done. well done boys.

an interesting weez..errrr...
PUN INTENDED

Cowboy look?
That hardly looks like a rock album..i'd walk straight past it if i saw it thinking it was some country shit.

Anyone else reckon he's trying to copy the dude out of the 'Knights of Cydonia' music video?

Is it just me, or does that guy look like the pervy uncle, who tends to show up at weddings mortal, and try to grab anyones arse. Somehow I don't think the cowboy look is coming back to catwalks just yet.

All I can say is Brokeback mountain.

Is it just me, or does he look like the pervy uncle that seems to show up at weddings, completely wasted, and try to grab everyone’s arse? Somehow I don't think the cowboy look is going to be on catwalks any time soon.

Weeeeeeezer! Rivers can do no wrong in my eyes! If he's a cowboy, cowboy's are cool.

I think cuomos new look is definatly .... bold!But Cowboys hardly screams rock.... i really doubt it will catch on. but ya know you love it or hate it but i just hate it

Oh, is he actually being serious? I thought it was one of those 'spot the odd one out' sorta thing. Fairly amusing. Maybe hes just a little confused?

hahaha i thought it was funny!!! like look at those guys, i mean its just funny! imagine if the lads from avenged sevenfold did that??!! i suppose its good for people to try out new stuff and see what kind of reaction they get

dont think it will catch on
looks abit camp lol

It don't know if it'll catch on, but if they decide to remake Dallas he's a sho in for the role of JR Ewing!

Oh my life. Lets be honest, they're not good anyway, and if their dressing like that then they need to reconsider their music genre. How about country and western?!

that is the most horrifying thing my eyes have EVER witnessed...If that catches on ill shave my head....

Hmm i dont like it!

Its not them at all! But if they like it then well, what can we do about it?!

Fair Play to them i say!

They's look better as the Village People.

This Looks More Like A Cover for the YMCA 2008!!

Cowboy wannabes + Weezer = complete and utter shit, partly coz I can't stand both of them and they now look like theyv'e switched genres......to country and western!!!Damn them.

Lord in High Heaven. Lord in High Heaven. No. Just, really, really no.

doesn't he look SEXY?!

Errrr, maybe not :P

doesn't he look SEXY?!

Errrr, maybe not :P

doesn't he look SEXY?!

Errrr, maybe not :P

two words kerrang!:

OH DEAR!

looks to me as if he should be starring in Brokeback Mountain:2.

Its fun to stay at the YMCA...

I think the look will catch on with fans of The Mighty Boosh ... He looks like a hybrid of Howard Moon and Vince Noir!

Its Brokeback Mountain All over again.. =S

To Be Honest I Think It's Fantastic! I Loved The Weezer Look When He Was Geeky And Weird And Now He's Like A Back To The Future Cast Member. I Love It! It's Just So Weezer!

to be honest its a shit cover

he looks an idiot but i am totally sure the music will be totally different from the cover

in other words good

This cover is certainly going to get people talking which is exactly what they want if they want to promote the album! This is probably a good idea!

Weezer have always been a great band but Rivers Cuomo's new look is terrible can't he go back to looking like a geek! Weezer Roole!

i most ceratinly hope not... its rather... disturbing to say the least

I think its a bit more brokeback mountain than hunky cowboy. I hope this look doesn't catch on, that would be a bit worrying really...I think Cuomo should leave the cowboy look to Tim McGraw quite frankly...

Does look a little lame, but then again so does half the stuff alot of sub genre rockers wear, so why the hell not, let it catch on, be funny to see all it's variations, kinda...
